"Take her and lock her up. Don't you dare lay a finger on her," one of the guards called out.
"Well, she's already beat up, so what's the difference," another responded.
A loud crack sounded into the room. "Idiot! She's precious to us! The better condition she's in, the more money we'll get. She's one of the last Uchihas! Do you know what that means?"
"She's valuable," one of the guards questioned.
"Exactly. Now, be more careful and stick her into the room."
Sarada felt her body sway. The sound a wooden door cracked open. Without much hesitation, the Uchiha swung her knee and rammed it into the temple of his head. The man fell to the floor unconsciously, not making a sound.
She scurried over to the door and peeped out the doorway. Two guards were stationed outside patrolling a metal door nearby.
The kunoichi had no clue where she was. The last thing she remembered was walking home from seeing the Hokage. The next second, her Mom fell to ground and everything went black. Now, she ended up at this place with not the slightest clue where she was. The fact that the guards mentioned "Uchiha" peaked her interest. Perhaps it had something to do with her Father. He'd been gone this entire time, but for what reason? But everything else aside, now was her chance to escape.
"Mangekyo," she whispered as her bloodshot eyes swiveled. She aimed to one of the shinobi. One of the enemy Nin clutched his head and fell to the floor silently. The guard that stood next to him crouched down to see what was wrong with his partner. Again, with her Mangekyo she casted another Genjutsu. It caused the lone shinobi to collapse.
The girl scurried over to the fallen Nin and searched their bodies. They wielded nothing more than a kunai and several useless items. Although it wasn't much, it was just enough to get by. As she slipped gingerly through the hallways, she couldn't help but to think of the Dobe.
Sarada had to admit, she should have let Boruto explain himself, but during the heat of the moment, she'd been embarrassed of not only in front of her friends, but the shinobi she loved. Maybe if she hadn't ignored him, this wouldn't have happened. Focus Sarada, she thought as calm as possible, Worry about everything else later.
"Hey you, stop!"
In one fluid motion, the Uchiha launched her weapon at the guard behind her. It struck him in the chest, nearly piercing his heart.
But it was too late.
He had already alerted the others. They began pouring out from their quarters and started attacking the girl. Luckily, the Ninjas around her were very weak, but she was heavily outnumbered 30:1. No matter many she defeated, there were always more pouring out from the rooms.
A dagger flew by her and slit part of her shoulder. "Agh," she cried out.
"Hey! Try not to hurt her too much! We need her in the best possible condition!"
Sarada threw another kunai. It wheezed by the enemy and smashed into the wall. One guard snuck behind her and wrapped his arm around her neck. With her natural instinct, she flipped the man over her body and stomped on this chest. Then, she brought her hands up and punched an incoming Ninja.
There was just no end to the shinobi. She looked behind her back and noticed a blonde haired, blue eyed Leaf Ninja running towards her. She smiled brightly and yelled, "SARADA!" from the bottom of his lungs.
Boruto Uzumaki.
That was the sight she needed to see. She was losing all hope, but now that her teammate came through, it was going to be a piece of cake. The Kekkei Genkai Duo had returned.
"Boruto," Sarada wailed as she sprinted towards him desperation. Excitement took over her body and she couldn't hold it in. Oh how she yearned to see him.
Bolt's eyes suddenly turned angry and his smile went crooked with malice. "Sarada," he growled. He struck her with his kunai, which impaled the Uchiha straight in the heart. Her breathing went shallow and her face turned pale.
"Boru…," she croaked as blood fell to the floor. She could believe what was happening. How could Boruto do this to her? None of it was adding up. Her teammate had been by her side for most of her life and now he turned his back against her, this was just impossible.
"Silly girl. Did you honestly think that your pathetic boyfriend was coming to save you?" The Uzumaki's image disappeared and the brown haired man stood before her. "You thought wrong my dear. To think that a very skilled Uchiha, like yourself, could see right past that Genjutsu. Guards, lock her up!"
Several pairs of hands grabbed onto Sarada's arms and dragged her down the hallway. In her mind, Sarada still saw her teammate standing in the middle of the hall. He smiled and walked in the opposite direction.
"Boruto, wait!" Sarada fought the enemy, but the Genjutsu had immensely worn her out. "I'm sorry! Bolt, come back! I'M SORRY FOR HURTING YOU!" Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. She didn't want to believe what was happening, but the rest of the hope she had was dwindling down to zero.
The 6th Mizukage slid two files across his desk. "Akiro and Shota. Although these two men have no last names, they are well known in the Land of Mist. They were once great shinobi, but Shota began to seek the darkness for power. Soon after, Akiro joined him, since then, they have been on the run as rogue Ninjas for about over 10 years now."
"What caused Shota to turn against your village?"
Chojuro shrugged. "No one knows exactly, but he began terrorizing the village for valuable information. I'm afraid I can't discuss that with you because you are a Leaf Ninja. I hope you can understand. But what I did piece together is that Orochimnaru may had something to do with it. I'm not sure what, but it was him for a fact."
Bolt curled up his fists and let out a furious sigh. No matter how many missions he's been on or stories he's heard, Orochimaru always had been in almost every single one. "Where is Shota now?!"
"I can't say where, but he could be at Orochimaru's hideout in the Land of Sand."
Bolt's eyes perked up. "But if Shota is connected with Orochimaru, what does he want with Sarada?!"
"I wish I knew, but I can't answer that. Your best bet is to look into it."
"Thank you Mizukage," Boruto replied as he bowed in respect. "I'm off now." The blonde excused himself and took off.
The black haired girl groaned in pain. Her head was spinning and her stomach was churning. It was hard to tell how long she'd been out, but she knew that she was still being held captive. The Genjutsu she'd been under almost felt real, but it was practically like a dream.
"Oi Boss! She's waking up!"
Footsteps shuffled across the cold rock flooring. Shota brought up the Uchiha's face with a single hand. It was bloodied, bruised, and cut up from the beatings she dealt with after her failed escape attempt. "So you're awake and alive, huh? Rise and shine, honey."
"Get… away."Sarada pulled her face away in disgust. She tried to throw a punch, but realized that her arms were tied behind her back. A loud slap rang in the spacious room. A sharp sting burned through her face and down to her toes. Shota's hand was nearly imprinted on her cheek.
"Pipe down girl or I won't hesitate to kill you."
"Tch. From what I hear, you need me so I know that isn't an option. Besides, you won't get away with this. They'll come after you… He'll come after you."
"That meddling boy? HA! What a shame, I wanted more of a fight than him."
Sarada laughed. "Don't forget about my Father. Once he's found out about his, he'll murder you."
"By the time for Father gets here, you'll no longer exist in this world."
"What is it that you want from?!"
The man plopped down and sat in front of the Uchiha. "I'm glad you asked. You see, it's your eyes I'm after. You possess the Sharingan. Since you have them, there is a chance that you'll soon wield the Rinnegan. Once you activate it, I plan to use that power for myself."
"What makes you think I'll activate the Rinnegan first of all? It's not that simple you know! It could take me years before I do, actually, I may not even ever have it in my lifetime!"
"You're not like any other Uchiha. You're special for that reason alone. I know will you take a hold of it. Plus you already have acquired the Mangekyo, so that's a start. I know you're capable of creating and destroying life. Although you do retain some of you Father's qualities, it's apparent that you don't hold hatred close to your heart."
The girl stared ferociously at Shota with her Sharingan. "But what makes you so sure that I'll really possess them anytime soon?"
The man crawled closer to the Leaf kunoichi. "I don't know that, but I guess I'll just have to keep you here until you seize that power." He squeezed her cheeks again and inched closer to her face. "Until that happens I plan to make you mine. Perhaps we can make some Uchiha's of our own?" He slyly winked and licked his lips.
Sarada trembled with fear. She tried to punch the man, but again, realized that her hands were being restricted. If someone didn't hurry up soon, not only her pride, but her life would be gone.

A/N:
So I wasn't going to be posting until Friday, but I did today, which may have been the biggest mistake of my life :D I was supposed to be studying for my exams (that are today and tomorrow), but I've come to a conclusion that I hate school :3 I gave up on studying and decided to post this.
Enjoy!~
